Love Thy Slaver -- 006

[TheZebraShakes™]

With everyone remaining on guard, the dwarves step foward to handle this situation.

"Who goes where? I'm here first. Yer the one doesn't belong with them down here." is the surprised dwarf's response/counter-question to Noic's query as she points a finger at his crew. Her common is poor and it is likely clear that she would favor speaking the dwarven tongue.

Garor introduces himself by name and indicates that the others are friends of his.

She nods and hefts her battle axe over her shoulder and puts a hand out in greeting.

"Biretta" she introduces herself with no surname or other such clan identification which dwarves are generally proud to state.

her ears seem to perk up when she overhears Finnius whispering.

"Orcs? What you know about orcs?" she asks with interest.

[Wicksy]

"Not much my dear....can you tell us about them?"

Finnius tries to play it cool to try and give away as little as possible.

Garor strokes his beard. What was Finnius up to?

[TheUdjat]

Ana is likewise uncertain what Finnius is attempting to accomplish--and is plenty headstrong to ignore it. "We're tracking down orcs, and their trail lead us in this direction. If this is your home or something, don't worry, we're just passing through." She frowns. "Otherwise, maybe your cause is the same as ours. Could you tell us why you're here? Obviously we wouldn't want to disrupt whatever your agenda is here."

She has a strong suspicion the dwarf is either and escapee or a bull-headed would-be rescuer like them, but decides not to mention anything about the slave operation just yet. She doesn't see any reason to distrust the dwarf, but she'll either instantly comprehend their purpose or be here for entirely different reasons, and just because one is among the more civilized races doesn't mean one is 'good'. Ana's even seen friendly and helpful goblins in her time.

A dwarf with no surname is also curious. Maybe Finnius detects something Ana, herself, does not.

(Just making sure everyone gets a chance to read and react before moving on. should be back to 2-3 updates per week again by next week.)

Noic introduces himself to her in there native tounge, putting emphasis on his clan and the parts of the introduction biretta left out.
